Traffic lights disappear

I picked up my new HHR LT yesterday and have already found that when the traffic lights are strung almost overhead, they are impossible to see without bending into wierd shapes. I'm 6-ft tall. In the older cars from the 50's and 60's, they had Traffic Light viewers mounted to the dash but I don't really want to drill a hole into my new dash. Also there's not a lot of room with the short-ish windshield in the HHR. Has anyone found a "cure" for this?

I'm 6'4 and don't really have any issues at traffic lights. Guess the sunroof is really worth it!

But here are a couple of ideas anyways.....

It's one of the annoyances that I've encountered myself (the other being the armrests). I'm interested in hearing some solutions as well..

Edit: Wow, you folks are quick! Thanks for the links :)

Size:  5.6 KB to the site!!! My last vehicle was a Crossfire so the visibility out of the HHR is actually better. You get used to it after awhile. Another option besides the added mirror is to simply not pull so close up to the light.

Light-N-Sight

Light-N-Sight is the way to go!!! I am over 6'2" and do a lot of city driving with overhead lights. It takes a little bit to get use to that prism above your eye line. I don't even notice now it and it works as promised.
